Soviet Press Day May 5. Russian Press Day

Mikhailov Andrey 05/05/2013 at 14:00

On May 5, the USSR celebrated Press Day. The date is not accidental: on this day the first issue of the then main newspaper of the country, Pravda, was published. The holiday was moved to winter, January 13, and called Russian Press Day. But for the majority of journalists writing and filming, May 5 remained their professional day. The online newspaper "Pravda.Ru" was created by Pravdists 14 years ago and, we hope, carries the best traditions of domestic journalism.

This year, on the occasion of the “old” Press Day, a significant event took place - “Pravda.Ru”, more precisely, its television group, became the laureate of the X International Film Festival of Marine and Adventure Films “The Sea Calls - 2013”, which ended the day before in St. Petersburg. In total, 54 films from filmmakers from 15 countries took part in the competition screening.

The film by the TV studio "Pravdy.Ru" "Secret Mountain" in the center of Siberia" won in the nomination "Best Screenplay". A special prize for our publication was provided by the leading Russian naval shipyard "Sevmash". The author and presenter of the film, which tells about the only in the world's underground plant where plutonium for nuclear weapons was produced - the famous writer and science journalist, longtime contributor to Pravda.Ru Vladimir Gubarev.

According to the director of the festival, journalist and publicist, captain 1st rank Sergei Aprelev (by the way, also a long-time author of Pravda.Ru), the current anniversary film forum was dedicated to a number of significant dates: the “Year of Environmental Protection” declared by the Russian government, as well as 70 -anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hero of the Soviet Union A.I. Marinesko.

I would like to note that the international film festival "The Sea is Calling" is a long-term partner of the world's oldest Toulon Maritime Film Festival and the Strasbourg Underwater Image Festival. And the film from the television studio Pravda.Ru will also be shown at these famous international film forums. So we celebrate the holiday with significant labor achievements!

The author of these lines came to work for the electronic Pravda.Ru 11 years ago - one might say, a veteran of the publication. Admitting your love for an online newspaper, you see, is not entirely common. But I still confess! Over the years, Pravda.Ru has become near and dear to me, as, I am sure, to millions of readers.

On this holiday, it is appropriate to remember a funny incident that happened to me. It is in some way connected with the printed Pravda, which celebrates its 101st birthday on May 5th. All these years I worked on the so-called remote access; the Internet doesn’t care where your office is or, in general, where you send materials from. The northern representative office of Pravda.Ru is, naturally, not in Moscow, but in the city of Severodvinsk. So, this incident took place in 2004, exactly during the gubernatorial election campaign in the Arkhangelsk region.

So I’m sitting in the office, working for myself, and suddenly there’s a phone call from the city veterans’ council. Like, we want to invite you, as a well-known representative of the central party newspaper, to our meeting. I'm scratching my head, I don't understand anything. The voice on the phone takes on pleading notes: they say, come, speak, it’s really, really necessary, people are waiting. Well, how can you refuse... I agreed, without even imagining what was in store for me. Who came up with this idea? Or maybe someone just wants to make fun of you? Affairs…

On the appointed day I come to the Palace of Culture - priests, and there is a full hall! The man who invited me to the performance comes up to me and leads me to the presidium (the table is set with red calico!). I’m starting to understand that something political is happening here. It soon turns out that I was at a meeting of city veterans with a gubernatorial candidate supported by the Communist Party. You understand that veterans traditionally love this party very much. Well, I'm in trouble... I fall into a daze, listening to the candidate - he seems to be a good guy. However, he was not elected then. I come to my senses when I hear: “And now the floor is given to the special correspondent of our favorite party newspaper Pravda!” - and applause. That's it. Apparently, no one explained to the old people that printed newspapers and electronic ones are not exactly the same thing, and Pravda.Ru is not that communist Pravda, but rather a successor of its creative, and not at all party, traditions . That's why I was invited.

Tribune. Hundreds of pairs of eyes. I think: I need to say something, otherwise... Are they telling jokes? And, I must say, at that time I was running a humorous column in Pravda.Ru, “The Wardroom,” in which a variety of sea stories, funny incidents, and funny stories were published. And before that, for many years he was responsible for filling the humorous section in the local city newspaper "Severny Rabochiy". Yes, in fact, I often performed on stage, it’s a common thing. Well, I started to “poison” humor, fortunately, my memory is good and my tongue is suspended. I watch the hall: the faces of the veterans are stony, there is obvious misunderstanding in their eyes. I keep my eye on the gubernatorial candidate. His hair stands on end, his eyes are stunned: they say, where did I end up?

But gradually the veterans’ eyes began to warm up, and laughter and clapping, modest at first, began to be heard in the hall. By the eighth sea bike (by the way, sent to the editorial office of Pravda.Ru by someone from Severodvinsk), the audience was already openly laughing. And this is understandable: marine humor has always been understandable and loved for residents of the city of shipbuilders, where nuclear submarines are built. It is clear that most of the veterans present in the hall either served in the navy or built ships. Again I cross my gaze - and the candidate, it turns out, gets up from his chair indignantly and goes backstage. And no one in the hall pays attention to this! The veteran who invited me to the meeting makes a scary face: stop it. Where is it? There are still many funny stories about the sea, ships, fleet...

The Pravda newspaper was founded by V.I. Lenin in 1912. Pravda is the most widespread and popular Soviet newspaper. Together with the Communist Party, it has traveled a long historical path in the struggle for the victory of the socialist revolution, for the construction of socialism, fulfilling the role of a collective agitator, propagandist, and organizer of the working people.

Pravda began to be published by decision of the 6th All-Russian (Prague) Conference of the RSDLP (January 1912) in response to the workers’ desire to have their own daily newspaper. No. 1 of the Pravda newspaper was published in St. Petersburg on April 22 (May 5), 1912. Since April 22 (May 5), 1914, this day has been celebrated as a holiday of the working press, and since 1922 it has been celebrated annually as Press Day.

"Pravda" was a mass, daily, legal workers' newspaper, the de facto organ of the Bolshevik Party (the central organ of the RSDLP was the newspaper "Social Democrat" in 1908-1917, published abroad and distributed illegally in Russia). When creating Pravda, the party relied on the experience of many illegal and legal newspapers - Iskra, Forward, Proletary, Novaya Zhizn, Zvezda, etc.

The actual editor and head of the newspaper was V.I. Lenin. He determined its direction, took care of the selection of the editorial staff and team of authors, and developed the structure of the newspaper. On the pages of Pravda only in 1912-14. About 300 of Lenin's works were published.

The publishers of Pravda and its active employees were Bolsheviks - deputies of the 4th State Duma: A. E. Badaev, M. K. Muranov, G. I. Petrovsky, F. N. Samoilov, N. R. Shagov.

A permanent contributor to Pravda, its poet was Demyan Bedny. Literary department of the newspaper in 1912-1914. directed by Maxim Gorky.

Pravda was published with funds from voluntary contributions from workers, many of whom were its active employees, correspondents and distributors. More than 16 thousand work correspondence was published in the newspaper in 1912-14. The newspaper had an average circulation of 40 thousand copies, and in some months - up to 60 thousand copies. daily.

In 1912-14. Pravda played a major role in the propaganda of Bolshevik slogans and tactics of combining illegal and legal forms of party work among the masses, in the struggle against the Menshevik liquidators, Trotskyists and other opportunists, in the organizational unity and political education of the working class. The newspaper published correspondence about the progress of the proletarian struggle in various cities of the country, etc. factory denunciations - letters about the working and living conditions of workers. All this contributed to the development of the mass proletarian movement. Pravda also published materials about the life of the village, wrote about the need to confiscate all landowners' lands in favor of the peasants, called on all layers of workers under the leadership of the working class to fight against the autocracy, against social and national oppression.

Tsarism constantly persecuted Pravda. Of the 645 issues of the newspaper published in 1912-1914, 190 were subject to repression. The tsarist government closed Pravda 8 times, but the newspaper continued to be published under other names: in 1913 - “Working Pravda”, “Northern Pravda” , “Truth of Labor”, “For Truth”, in 1914 - “Proletarian Truth”, “The Path of Truth”, “Worker”, “Labor Truth”. On July 8, 1914, on the eve of World War I, the tsarist government banned the publication of the newspaper, and its employees were arrested.

After the overthrow of tsarism, Pravda began to appear on March 5 (18), 1917, as an organ of the Central Committee and the St. Petersburg Committee of the RSDLP (b). Upon returning from abroad on April 5 (18), 1917, Lenin joined the editorial board. The editorial board of Pravda in March-July 1917 at various times included Eremeev, Kalinin, Muranov, Olminsky, Stalin and others. The secretary of the editorial board was M. I. Ulyanova. The newspaper propagated the strategy and tactics of the Bolshevik Party, carried out extensive ideological and educational work, consistently revealed the anti-people essence of the bourgeois Provisional Government, exposed the opportunism of the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries, and mobilized the masses to prepare and carry out the socialist revolution. Pravda published the most important documents and materials of the party, the works of Lenin (from March to October 25, 1917 - 207 of his works). The circulation reached 85-90 thousand copies. On July 5 (18), 1917, the editorial office was destroyed by cadets; in July - October, Pravda, persecuted by the bourgeois Provisional Government, was published under the name “Pravda Leaflet”, “Worker and Soldier”, “Proletarian”, “Worker”, “ The working path." On October 27 (November 9), 1917, the newspaper again began to be published under the name “Pravda” as the central organ of the Central Committee of the RSDLP (b). Since March 16, 1918, the newspaper has been published in Moscow, until 1952 - the organ of the Central Committee and the Moscow Committee of the RCP (b) [from 1925 - the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)], since October 1952 - the organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU.

During the Civil War 1918-1920. The main task of Pravda was to mobilize the masses to fight the united forces of international and domestic counter-revolution, and after the end of the war, to fight economic devastation and restore industry and agriculture. At all stages of the development of Soviet society, Pravda was the party’s weapon in the struggle for the implementation of its strategic, tactical and organizational tasks, for the purity of Marxist-Leninist teaching, for the implementation of plans for economic construction, and for raising the material and cultural level of the working people.

During the pre-war five-year plans (1929-1940), Pravda carried out a great deal of organizational work to develop socialist competition, promote shock movements, the Stakhanov movement, and educate workers in a communist attitude towards work. Pravda's visiting editors worked at major construction sites (Stalingrad Tractor Plant, Gorky Automobile Plant, Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station, etc.). Pravda made an outstanding contribution during the years of collectivization of agriculture to the struggle to strengthen collective farms, MTS and state farms. The newspaper propagated the great principles of Soviet power, involving all working people in governing the country. Pravda played a significant role in the implementation of the cultural revolution in the USSR, systematically covering issues of the development of public education, literature and art, publishing the best works of Soviet writers. Major Soviet scientists - I.V. Michurin, S.I. Vavilov, O. Yu. Shmidt, D.N. Pryanishnikov, I.M. Gubkin, writers and poets - M. Gorky, V. V. Mayakovsky, M, A. Sholokhov, A. A. Fadeev, A. S. Serafimovich, V. V. Vishnevsky, A. A. Surkov and others. Paying main attention to issues of economic construction, Pravda at the same time called for strengthening the defense capability of the USSR, instilled in the Soviet people patriotism and proletarian internationalism, high political vigilance, exposed fascism, and fought against the imperialist warmongers.

During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Pravda was a fiery agitator and organizer of the nation-wide struggle against the fascist aggressors. Through the newspaper, the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks addressed the people and the army, setting before them urgent tasks related to the war. The newspaper brought to the consciousness of the masses the Leninist-Stalinist ideas about the defense of the socialist Fatherland, the slogans of the party, published speeches by the leaders of the party and the Soviet government, and Soviet military leaders.

Pravda published reports from the Sovinformburo, materials about international and domestic events, essays about the heroism of soldiers and partisans, the labor exploits of workers and collective farmers, the patriotic deeds of Soviet people, and documents about the atrocities of the Nazis. The circulation of Pravda was increased by one and a half times; a number of defense plants had mobile editorial offices of the newspaper; dozens of its employees were at the front as special correspondents - P. A. Lidov, V. M. Kozhevnikov, B. N. Polevoy, S. A. Borzenko and others. Soviet writers contributed essays and literary works to Pravda - A. N. Tolstoy, M. A. Sholokhov, K. A. Fedin, A. A. Fadeev, V. P. Stavsky, K. M. Simonov, A. E. Korneychuk, B. L. Gorbatov, A. T. Tvardovsky, S. Ya. Marshak, I. G. Erenburg and others, with a political caricature - Kukryniksy (M. V. Kupriyanov, P. N. Krylov, N. A. Sokolov), B. E. Efimov and etc.

After the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War, Pravda widely covered the struggle of the Soviet people for the restoration and further development of the national economy. A large place in the newspaper was devoted to the formation of the world socialist system, the national liberation movement, and the peaceful foreign policy of the USSR.

One of the most important directions of Pravda is theoretical and propaganda work. The newspaper reveals the scientific foundations of the party's policy, the increase in its role in the development of a socialist society, the problems of Marxist-Leninist theory, the scientific and technological revolution, the current tasks of increasing the efficiency of the Soviet economy, and improving production management.

In 1975, Pravda was published with a total one-time circulation of 10.6 million copies, printed simultaneously in 42 cities. Pravda was published in more than 120 foreign countries.

"Pravda" Awarded 2 Orders of Lenin (1945 and 1962), the Order of the October Revolution (1972).

After the counter-revolutionary coup in the USSR, with the support of the ruling regime, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was created, which declared itself the heir of the CPSU and received the rights to publish the newspaper Pravda. Currently, as an organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, it is not a communist newspaper.

Nowadays, Russian Press Day is celebrated on January 13. Until 1991, the holiday was celebrated in the USSR on May 5: the day the first issue of the Pravda newspaper was published.

In 1991, Press Day was moved, received a new name, and a different reason was chosen for celebration - the day of publication of the first Russian-language printed newspaper, Vedomosti, founded by decree of Peter I.

Organ of the Pskov Provincial Committee V.K.P. (b) - the magazine “Sputnik Bolshevika” No. 4 for 1927 calls on Komsomol members and Bolsheviks to celebrate Press Day in a significant year - 10 years of the existence of the newspaper “Pravda” and the Soviet press in general.

Building a new life requires the involvement of the broad masses, and the press is the most important tool to achieve the goal. The magazine touches on many political and everyday topics, but we will look at the section that teaches how to celebrate Press Day. It is entitled very specifically “How to do it?” and contains clear ideological guidelines and an action plan.

The plan for holding “Press Day” was adopted at a meeting of the secretariat of the Pskov Provincial Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and recorded in protocol No. 26/30.

The tasks of the Bolsheviks come first.

Ideological: explaining to the worker-peasant masses the importance of the press in the struggle of the working class; identifying the significance of the press in the areas of state, economic and cultural construction; involving the masses in social and political life through the press (creating a network of people's correspondents, holding reader conferences, etc.)

What does the sponge committee offer for celebration? Meetings! To reach the masses as widely as possible! They should take place in teams and trade unions, clubs and circles of various directions. Rural, urban and industrial newspapers should publish a selection of holiday materials and instructions for celebrating the holiday at the local level.

The dates have been determined: May 5 in the city, May 15 in the village; so that the leaders of the party and Komsomol have time to take part in more holiday meetings and meetings.

They should present historical, explanatory and reporting reports from the editorial boards of wall newspapers and editorial offices. The meetings should be accompanied by various cultural events.

Editorial boards of newspapers at any level must conduct reports and re-elect the leadership.

Two important points of encouragement: bonuses for successful publications and outbound sales - to bring printed products closer to the reader.

“Izboy-reading room” and a wall newspaper will not surprise a modern person, but the party line, workers’ correspondent or in general workers’ correspondent, rural movement already seem exotic.

The instructions for holding the holiday conclude with the following instruction: “to all Ukoms and District Committees of the All-Union Communist Party, submit a full report on the results of the press day to the APO of the Provincial Committee of the All-Union Communist Party by June 10.”

Next, the magazine publishes almost bibliographic material - a list of books and articles “What to read about printing.” The headings are “History of the workers’ press”, “History of the capitalist press”, “Rural movement”, and among the authors are Zinoviev, Ryklin, Bonch-Bruevich. The information received will arm the Bolshevik with knowledge and arguments for disputes with his still backward comrades.

The block dedicated to the celebration of Press Day ends with a rather long document, “Resolution of the 3rd Regional Meeting of Workers’ Correspondents on the Organizational Issue.” Military correspondents and cadets were also present there. A meeting of workers and rural correspondents finds that voluntary associations are working rather weakly; it is necessary to intensify actions, increase social significance, and expand their membership. The meeting warns against being carried away by the appearance and embellishment of wall newspapers and attracting alien, self-important elements into one’s ranks.

Among the measures aimed at promoting the ideas of the party to the masses, and in connection with the increasingly complex global situation, it is proposed to increase the sense of responsibility of social activists, protect workers who are prevented from working, conduct training and political information, fight for the quality of materials (for example, the fight against cheating), and most importantly – expansion of the movement and explaining to the masses the importance of the work carried out by the workers’ movement.

The day of the press, with which I have been associated for half my life - my continuous newspaper experience began in August 1969, and ended somewhere around 2010.

I don’t even consider occasional inclusions in print since 1965; they were very sporadic and were interrupted either by studies, or by voyages to the North to work on local radios, or by absolutely incredible activities in different spheres of life - from a librarian and laboratory assistant to installer of metal structures at the construction of the Topkinsky cement plant.

Or a loader at an interdistrict wholesale warehouse. By the way, I really liked being a loader: I carried everything in the world: boxes of fruit and wine, bags of sugar and rice, various furniture, children's toys, fabrics, shoes, sheets of iron and everything else that is in this world. For example, frozen fish in briquettes and cow carcasses - separately. And also rolls of roofing felt, which he carried on his shoulder, and huge rolls of wrapping paper, which he rolled and deftly unwrapped when running over a log.

Being a mover was good and carefree. The end of each shift was celebrated by drinking wine, which we called “kerosene” because of its color. We got wine as a trophy for saving money in the “battle”: for every carriage with bottled wine, we were supposed to write off a number of broken bottles, it seems like a box, that is, 20 pieces. About ten bottles were actually broken on the long journey, half of the rest was taken by the accompanying people, and the rest, five bottles, sometimes more, was a well-deserved fee for the movers and we, refreshed by a hose with tap water, happily relaxed in some railway station. dead end...

But even as a loader, the dream of a newspaper job never left me. I have already experienced the temptation. I printed the first notes. I read my name on a newspaper page - and it seems to me to this day that there is nothing sweeter in the world.

So I got infected.

I liked everything about the newspaper.

Her special jargon. Well, let's say, an order from the secretariat to a literary employee (there used to be literary employees, and not as now - correspondents, columnists, editors and others): “Make thirty lines for a lantern,” - this is Swahili for the uninitiated, but a banality for old newspapermen.

The smell of a printing house. Not only the printing ink, but the smell of hot metal and the breath of the linotype workshop, the sound of those typeset things that accompany the translation of your text from a manuscript into metal lines.

And then the appearance of this text during layout is in a mirror image, which you quickly learn to read, as if you had always done it.

And the names of the header fonts, brothers! This is music! “Corinna”, “Grotesque”, “Baltika”, “Antiqua” and dozens more different ones. Now it's all down to one or two. Not interesting. And then there were even several text fonts: “borges”, “petit”, “corps”, “nonpareil”, “cicero”...

A decade of work in a mining town under construction (minus two years in the army, but there I served in a divisional newspaper, formally as a proofreader, but in fact a jack of all trades - from literary editing to page layout) gave me enormous life experience. I would say, an exotic experience of satisfied curiosity: we, omnipresent and multi-nimble, have been everywhere - today in the mining face of a mine or a coal quarry, tomorrow at a hydraulic fracturing drilling rig, or even at a timber cutting site, in the cabin of an excavator, in the workshop of large-panel parts of a house-building plant, in short, anywhere and everywhere. The city was small and consisted of acquaintances: you go to work in the morning and bow your head in greeting - everyone knows you, and you know everyone.

We liked to celebrate Printing Day outdoors. We went to the Barzas River to the pedestrian bridge. A fire was built on a warmed sap and lard and sausage were fried on twigs. In a nearby swamp they cut up a bunch of flasks. Vovka Ivanov drilled holes in the birch trees with a hammer, inserted straws into them and they poured out sap abundantly. We, sinful people, washed it down with vodka - as if without it.

Now there are many journalistic holidays - in winter, autumn, I don’t remember any of them. But May 5th is forever...

For press workers -
Very difficult tasks.
By the way, on this holiday we wish you
Good luck to them.

All publications in the plan -
Execute without delay

The word will resonate in the heart.
